The Wall Street does not expect that the sale of Oculus Rift will have an immediate impact on Facebook . That's not bad for a starter kit, even though the price might be a bit steep for first-time gamers. Bundles that include a powerful computer needed to use the device will be available for pre-order in February starting at $1499 (approx Rs 1 lakh).

Normally in cases like this it means that the product has reached its end of life. Chinese iPhone factories had some idle capacity in the final two months of the calendar year, when they would typically be racing to chongliang, or "rush quantity", for Apple , in factory-speak.

This is the Ehang 184 , the world's first passenger drone. It takes off and lands vertically, point to point direct flight based on altitude and latitude of the origin and termination point. The EHang 184 has been built with reinforcements for all flight systems. The 184 (one passenger, eight propellers, four arms), isn't ready to fly just yet.

The FFZero01 concept, if actually built on Faraday Future's Variable Platform Architecture , would have a top speed of more than 200 miles per hour and go from zero to 60 in less than three seconds. It will have a modular design for improved mass-production methods. "We're developing one core motor technology", Sampson said. This allows Faraday to easily change the size and shape to make a one-seat hot rod like the FFZero1 or more mundane vehicles like a sedan or sport utility vehicle.

Second, the first batch of pre-orders will ship as early as the 28 of March and some purchasers are reporting their ship dates as late at May. To that end, Oculus is working with developers to bring made-for-VR games to its headset. The company, which was bought by Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion, says the headsets will come with two video games, "Lucky's Tale" by Playful and CCP's "EVE: Valkyrie ".

The drone-maker also explained that a passenger only needs to give two commands (after setting a flight plan) - "take off" and "land" - each controlled by a single click on a Microsoft Surface tablet. One of the immediate questions that is evoked by the unveiling of an interesting development such as the EHang 184 is "how safe is it?" It is able to carry a single passenger for 23 minutes at a speed of 60mph, and features gull-wing doors and arms that fold up.

According to him, they completely want to focus on the single-player experience of the game. When Far Cry Primal was unveiled, I had a clear image of hunting a mighty mastodon with a team of online friends in order to feed the rest of the tribe.

After years of waiting, the Oculus Rift is finally ready to hit store shelves this year. According to the official page, the Oculus Rift is expected to ship in April. Oculus CEO Palmer Luckey will field questions-and likely many complaints about the Rift's price-during an "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit at 9 p.m.

Telecom service provider Etisalat Egypt which is Facebook's partner started providing Free Basics service two months ago, and Facebook says more than 3 million people in Egypt have signed up. This means: "what are the "basic" digital services Indians will access using their own air waves will be decided by a private corporation", said a joint letter of about 100 people of faculty members from IIT, IISc, IIIT and BITS Pilani to Trai.

The company also released its recommended specifications for a computer ready to run Oculus Rift experiences. While the Rift is blazing new trails in how we will play video games in the future, the price comes as a bit of a surprise. If you don't have one, don't worry as Oculus will be creating a PC that can power the Oculus Rift and its bundles. The company had previously said that it could cost $200-$400, before announcing that the price would be "at least $300".
